411 CITY STAFF MEMORANDUM <br /> FROM: MARY SAARION <br /> DATE: JULY 8, 1992 <br /> SUBJECT: DUMPINGS AT ARDAN PARK <br /> Rick Wriskey called today to inform me that he observed a large <br /> amount of dumping behind the woodchip pile at Ardan Park. The <br /> dumping material is tree branches, arborvitae bush trimmings, <br /> stumps, timbers and posts. This material is suspected to be from <br /> a small landscaping contractor. The material seems to have been <br /> dumped coming from the north of the woodchip pile which means <br /> that a small pickup or one ton may have been used. Rick predicts <br /> that the amount of trash could accumulate up to $700. 00 or more <br /> to dump. This is a big problem! ! <br /> I am soliciting the assistance of all City employees to keep <br /> their eyes and ears out for suspicious users of the compost site. <br /> Most likely the dumpers are coming in at night. It is a huge <br /> cost to the city to dispose of this material. The site is posted <br /> • with information forbidding the dumping of branches and other <br /> non-compost materials. Parks Maintenance will put up a fence <br /> around the wood chip pile offering another visual indication that <br /> any other materials are not welcome. <br /> Your help in any way of finding the culprit or educating the <br /> general public to the fact that Ardan Park is not a dumping site <br /> would be greatly appreciated. Ardan Park offers the residents <br /> free wood chips and compost with a regulated and controlled <br /> program through the cooperative efforts of Ramsey County and the <br /> City of Mounds View. <br /> • <br />
